Kinkell Byre
Kinkell Byre is a restored barn on Kinkell Farm, just east of St Andrews, used for weddings, parties and corporate events, with ten self-catering cabins a two-minute walk away. The barn and cabins look out over the Fife coastline, and the barn takes up to 450 guests.

The barn
The Byre is hired exclusively, so one wedding or event has the place to itself. It hosts receptions and ceilidhs, milestone birthdays, anniversaries, award dinners and corporate events, and its team has been running weddings for more than twenty years. The setting, on farmland above the sea, is the main draw. Couples planning a wedding can make an enquiry through the venue's website.
The cabins
Ten small cabins sit a short walk from the barn, each with sea views. Beds can be made up as a double or two singles, and each cabin has an en-suite shower room and a basic kitchenette with microwave, kettle, fridge and toaster. Linen and towels are provided. Some cabins have ramp access and some take pets.
Who it suits
The cabins are most useful for wedding guests who want to stay on site, but they also suit couples looking for a simple coastal base outside town. East Sands beach and the Fife Coastal Path lie between Kinkell and St Andrews, and the Fairmont's golf courses are next door. Bring supplies, as the kitchenettes are basic, or eat in town, a short drive away.
